Wayback 0.1 released

Date:
Thu, 24 Jul 2025 14:19:41 +0000

Description:
Version
0.1 of the Wayback project has been released: Wayback is an X11 compatibility 
layer that allows for running full
X11-only desktop environments using Wayland. It is essentially an X11
server backed by Wayland, leveraging wlroots and Xwayland . Our goal is
for Wayback to eventually be a completely drop-in replacement to the Xorg 
binary, thus reducing maintenance burden for distro
maintainers. Ever since Wayback was announced on June28 , we have been making 
lots
of progress to get it as stable and functional as possible, and while
this is a preview release it is already daily-driveable by users with
simple requirements, as long as they don't mind bugs. The release is 
considered alpha-quality and is missing a number of
features, including multi-monitor
support and DPMS ,
but adventurous users can find the code here .
